Molly-Mae Hague announces she’s quit £5m-a-year job to focus on being a mum
MOLLY-Mae Hague has announced she’s quit her mega-money fashion job.
The Love Island star is stepping back from her creative director role at PrettyLittleThing, which paid her a reported £400,000 per month.
The salary would have earned the 24-year-old influencer and reality star just shy of £5million a year.
Molly said she’s had to “rearrange my life a little bit” to spend more time with her four-month-old daughter Bambi with villa boyfriend Tommy Fury.
However, she stressed that she will remain a brand ambassador for the fast-fashion brand and insisted there is “no drama and no tea” about her departure from the role.
Molly opened up about her decision at the end of a YouTube video she shared tonight.
In it, the star said: “A lot of people have been asking me about PLT creative director. ‘How’s the role going? How’s everything going with PLT?’
“Everything is going incredibly with PLT. I will forever have the most insane relationship with PLT – they are literally my family.
“I am still working with them and doing collections and edits, but I have actually decided to step down as my creative director role.”
She went on: “I know this is quite a big thing to just mention.
“Over the last few weeks, I have realised that I’m only going to get this time once with my first-born child.
“I’m only going to get Bambi being four months old once and I feel like I’ve had to rearrange my life a little bit and lose some commitments that I did have.
“Myself and PLT have decided collectively that as much as the creative director role was incredible and I have literally loved being the creative director of PLT more than anything – it was such an amazing chapter for me – it has naturally come to an end.
“I am a mum now. I never really gave myself a maternity leave and I got straight back into work instantly because my work is my phone and showing my life is my work.
“There were just certain areas of my life where I had to re-evaluate. The last thing I would want to be is in a role that I can’t fulfil right now at this moment in my life.
Molly-Mae added: “There is no drama, there is absolutely no tea, there is nothing that has gone on.
“It was the most incredible pinch-me moment. I will never ever not be grateful to that business for what they have done to my career.”
